This is a message to the next generation
Take it slow now, one step at a time
But don't remain stagnant
There's always the right time
To do anything
When the time is not right, you have to wait
That's why patience is the key to success.
Whatever you're doing
Take your time
Don't let pressure, push you out of line
When you rush it
You might be depressed or you'll live in anxiety
Those you're trying to impress
Won't give you a dime, so take your time.
I'm talking out of experience
To react is not to act
Things forced, are forgery
They never last
If you no endure, you no go enjoy
Isaiah 60 vs 22
When the time is right
I the Lord will make it happen
Be patient; take your time.
Stop and stay a while ~
considering we are one with the universe
there's never any real rush

Tossing and Turning,
I can't get you out of my head.
How did I know that when you left,
that day for work it would,
Be the last day I would see you?
The dreams. The nightmares,
The blood and the crash.
I imagine it every day,
How scared you must have been?
How was I not with you that fateful day?
I feel you every day trying,
To tell me you’re ok.
I feel you behind me as I’m cooking,
Always making sure I don’t over salt the food.
At night looking up at the stars,
Like we’ve done so many times before,
I feel the kiss on my neck as you are,
Reassuring me to trust myself,
To breathe again,
To live again and,
Realize in my heart that you’re gone,
And I have to let you go.
It’s like you can hear me from the stars,
When I tell you as long as I know you’re here,
I can breathe and I can live,
So don’t tell me to let you go, I’m not ready.
I lay down in our bed ,
Crying,
Missing you,
Wanting you,
I feel your head on my shoulder,
As you say in a language only I can understand,
It’s Ok Baby, Just take your time,
I’ll always be here for you.
Somethings are better left untold
Somethings are better if you let go
Sometimes, you forget your identity
And the oceans will bring a nobody
Just a wave, to please everybody
A wind, rush of emotions, you waive anyway
The sun will surely smile today
To you who wished upon a star
We'll break up the unhappy club
Seek better days to find "us"
Never, what we became momentarily
So take your time...
God knows you can't
change the world
instantly
You can't destroy
the world economy
to protect the future
you need to take time
plan make budgets
build as you can afford
If rich people
buy electric cars
it would still
take years for
petrol-based technology
to be phased out
If you try
to go too fast too quickly
you will fail
Take your time to make
plans build budgets
build as you
can afford to build
clean coal technology
where you cap chimneys
and use carbon
to make roads work
God has never
wanted people
to suffer don't panic
relax and take your time
Think big but start small
When you blame him for the cause,
That put your feelings at a loss…
Take your time.
When you feel you made a mistake,
And put your love at stake…
Take your time.
When you feel you are all alone,
Regretting all that is gone,
Trying to reach her on the phone,
Even when you think it’s wrong,
Just keep on going till you are gone,
So, take your time,
Because you’ll be putting yourself in a dance,
The push and pull with no tunes of romance
But steps of a failed second chance, so
Take your time,
Take you time
Even when he lied,
He’ll be by your side,
Take your time
So when you feel there’s a chance to make it right
To get over all this emotional fight,
Take your time
Even when your mind entices the heart in plight,
To gather those passionate moments back to sight,
My soul still does not have the might,
To get you back inside
So take your time…
…take your time…
You take your time. You smile and wave but once You get home you know all is gonna change you grab your knife And you Cut yourself just once but you can"t stop and before you know it you have 12 more down wrist. The pain still don't stop but the scares are now permanent and all you here is that your freak a useless nothing and you start to known its true so you finally have enough you make a final cut a cut across your throat with one finally word. Cared on to your arm I'm the freak that's gone.
Take your time
Take your time a moment in life
To live not, but in your expectation
Travel down the road, and up the stream
Who said that beauty is the one far?
Count every block that you pass
And take time to see the rising sun and the moon.
Take time it may be the only one have
Be at best phase with yourself, don’t hold grudges
Or wonder about yesterday, no worry about today
Just be yourself, and leave the rest be.
Pamper yourself a little but forget not
What is like to endure in poverty, to live with a disease?
Take time to learn others suffering, take time to show compassion
Take time and reflect everything to yourself, and ask
What will it be for me, if I was the one lying there?
Take your time; take time it may be all that you have
I don't always know how to tell you whats on my mind
I'm slowly sayin' goodbye to the life I'm leaving behind
In my heart I know for sure that its time to let it all go
But baby be patient
We need to take it nice and slow
I carry no sorrows and kee[ no secrets
But baby I'm not ready to move too far ahead just yet
Take a deep breath and actually hear what I'm tryin' to say
If you just take your time I'll let you lead the way
I've got to do this in my own time
Im not ready to shine
Its still my time to live and learn
And only then can I carry the name I'll earn
